How long will I love you
As long as there are stars above you
And longer if I can

How long will I need you
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan

How long will I be with you
AS long as the sea is bound to
wash upon the sand

How long will I want you
As long as you want me to
And longer by far

How long will I hold you
As long as your father told you
As long as you are

How long will I give to you
As long as I live to you
However long it you say

How long will I love you
As long as are stars above you
And longer if I may

    surprised there are no comments on this beautiful song. Covered recently by Ellie Goulding and in the ABOUT TIME movie. However I still prefer this original version by Mike Scott and The Waterboys. As imple love song that just says it straight. One for a wedding.
